Yup - pressie from my wife. Stunning time trying a ferrari, a porsche and a viper.

The Viper won out - not least because my height ruled me out of enjoying the prancing horse, and the porsche was a bit dull (and driving a TVR gives one a taste for cubes).

NOOOOOOOO,

Damn height restrictions! 355 ownership must be rather an elicit club then!

I was going to do one of those experiences next year after i've passed my test! That's sooo annoying!

3 is my only problem. I wonder if that's 5'6" in my socks, or if I can wear heels and get away with it??

On the other hand, though - driving a car like that in heels?!

I seriously doubt it, tends to just be a blanket restriction.

And why the weight limit? Seems a bit low...
